The government says journalists and sources who are living in the United States illegally don’t have First Amendment rights.
But the First Amendment was written to limit government power, not let officials decide whose voices are worth hearing.

@freedomofpress all these rights mean something only if we're willing to defend them. and by "we" i mean us, not the government.
the constitution's bill of rights were created to protect us from the government, so obviously we can't rely on the government to protect us against the government. people need to get way smarter way faster.
On the bright side, there might finally be a crystal clear unambiguous ruling they pretend has to exist after this case. They sure do love wasting everyones time and money with chat GPT legal theories.
Here’s another absurd twist on the government’s argument: The First Amendment also protects free exercise of religion. If those lacking legal status have no First Amendment rights, the government could forbid them from exercising their religion or require them to follow a particular religion.
disgusting…
